Tree Climbing Robot

Design, Kinematics and Motion Planning

By: Tin Lun Lam,Yangsheng Xu

Climbing robot is a challenging research topic that has gained much attention from researchers. Most of the robots reported in the literature are designed to climb on manmade structures, but seldom robots are designed for climbing natural environment such as trees. Trees and manmade structures are very different in nature. It brings different aspects of technical challenges to the robot design. In this book, you can find a collection of the cutting edge technologies in the field of tree-climbing robot and the ways that animals climb. It provides a valuable reference for robot designers to select appropriate climbing methods in designing tree-climbing robots for specific purposes. Based on the study, a novel bio-inspired tree-climbing robot with several breakthrough performances has been developed and presents in this book. It is capable of performing various actions that is impossible in the state-of-the-art tree-climbing robots, such as moving between trunk and branches. This book also proposes several approaches in autonomous tree-climbing, including the sensing methodology, cognition of the environment, path planning and motion planning on both known and unknown environment.

Human Behavior Learning and Transfer

By: Yangsheng Xu,Ka Keung C. Lee

Bridging the gap between human-computer engineering and control engineering, Human Behavior Learning and Transfer delineates how to abstract human action and reaction skills into computational models. The authors include methods for modeling a variety of human action and reaction behaviors and explore processes for evaluating, optimizing, and transferring human skills. They also cover modeling continuous and discontinuous human control strategy and discuss simulation studies and practical real-life situations. The book examines how to model two main aspects of human behavior: reaction skills and action skills. It begins with a discussion of the various topics involved in human reaction skills modeling. The authors apply machine learning techniques and statistical analysis to abstracting models of human reaction control strategy. They contend that such models can be learned sufficiently to emulate complex human control behaviors in the feedback loop. The second half of the book explores issues related to human action skills modeling. The methods presented are based on techniques for reducing the dimensionality of data sets, while preserving as much useful information as possible. The modeling approaches developed are applied in real-life applications including navigation of smart wheel chairs and intelligent surveillance. Written in a consistent, easily approachable style, the book includes in-depth discussions of a broad range of topics. It provides the tools required to formalize human behaviors into algorithmic, machine-coded strategies.

Intelligent Surveillance Systems

By: Huihuan Qian,Xinyu Wu,Yangsheng Xu

Surveillance systems have become increasingly popular. Full involvement of human operators has led to shortcomings, e.g. high labor cost, limited capability for multiple screens, inconsistency in long-duration, etc. Intelligent surveillance systems (ISSs) can supplement or even replace traditional ones. In ISSs, computer vision, pattern recognition, and artificial intelligence technologies are used to identify abnormal behaviours in videos. They present the development of real-time behaviour-based intelligent surveillance systems. The book focuses on the detection of individual abnormal behaviour based on learning and the analysis of dangerous crowd behaviour based on texture and optical flow. Practical systems include a real-time face classification and counting system, a surveillance robot system that utilizes video and audio information for intelligent interaction, and a robust person counting system for crowded environments.

The Economic Theory of Developing Countries' Rise

Explaining the Myth of Rapid Economic Growth in China

By: Yangsheng Zhong

The Economic Theory of Developing Countries' Rise examines the great economic development achievements of China within such a short period of time, which have surprised the world and have also raised other developing countries' hopes for catching up with developed countries. Featuring traditional political economics and Chinese characteristics of socialism, this book is about the economics of developing countries' rise, based on the case of China and focuses on catching-up economic growth theory. Thus, the book is of interest to those who wish to know more about theories, practices, policies and causes of China's economic success. The original Chinese version has been a very influential and well-sold book written on economics in China, and has received numerous awards and accolades since it was first published in 1995. This English version is the translation of the sixth edition in Chinese, published in December 2005. Most recently, in August 2009, the Chinese book was selected and enrolled in the honorable book series - 100 Economist and their notable works impacting China's Economic Construction over the last 60 years.
